The national association
of French estate agents, FNAIM, said average house
prices had been falling by 1pc-2pc annually over the
past few years and could drop by a further 3pc this
year. An oversupply of property in some areas means
prices are staying low, meaning there are good deals
to be found.

Ultra-low mortgage
rates are also attracting foreign buyers. Very long-term
fixed deals are the norm in France and it is now possible
to get a 20-year fix for 2.55pc, with even lower rates
available for the very best borrowers. This is a sharp
fall from 3.5pc a year ago.
French property is attracting huge
interest from British buyers thanks to falling house
prices, cheap long-term mortgages and favourable currency
exchange rates.

These factors mean it is now almost 25pc cheaper to
buy a Property than a year ago.
